Xenoblade 2 gloomwood root1/9/2024 So naming the snake "snake-but-Greeker" is a bit. And "eternal recurrence" is a core theme of all of the Xeno-series games. But the snake at the "world tree" in so many myths (not just Norse ones, either) is the snake of eternal recycling. Otherwise, "charity" is just "giving to the poor". Nobody thinks of "charity" as meaning "love" unless they're deeply religious and are, at that exact moment, reading 1 Corinthians chapter 13 from the King James Bible. But it was meant to translate to the heavenly virtue of charity, which is more accurately translated as principled love. It literally translates to "charity", as in giving things to the needy. Where things go off the rails a bit is with the Japanese name for Leftheria: "Liberalitas". Temperantia is the Latin word for moderation/self-control (from which English gets the word "temperance"), and is the same in both EN and JP. ![]() It doesn't mean 'word', like divisions of a sentence on a printed page. The Greek word '' (logos, pronounced 'law-gawss', not 'loh-gohss' as many English speakers expect) is the root of the English word 'logic'. Leftheria's name is Greek for "freedom" in EN. It would seem that (Rogosu, Logos) would be a better fit, and the Xenoblade wiki confirms this. Leftheria and Temperantia are the "good" titans. The Japanese names are more consistent, all being directly from Latin. Argentum and Indol are from Latin, with English connotations (example: "argent" just means "silver" in Latin, but in English it can connote greed for money). Some of the English names are a bit obscure in which language they're sourced from. The only outlier is Genbu (same in both EN/JP), which is named after the Black Turtle of the North of far-eastern mythology. Mor Ardain (Superubia) is named for pride. They're lingually twisted for "mystique", but they map pretty well.Īrgentum (Avaritia) is named for greed. Most of them are named for the seven deadly sins of Dante's Inferno. The titan names all pretty directly match in their themes.
